where to begin?

wednesday was okay. nick stayed home (to recoup from being woke up every hour) and i dragged through the day, followed by our bible study group in the evening...i took a nap in between!

thursday, nick and i went to the neurologist. they changed his meds, said to keep a headache journal (days he got them and what he took for them---i'm also going to start journaling his sleep, food and exercise, along with tv/computer/video game time). monday he goes in for an EKG because some of the meds can't be taking with cardio issues (we don't think he has any), then we'll pop in to the allergist for his monthly check-in. thursday he has an EEG (sleep deprived...that should be fun) and we have to be in tampa at 7:30 a.m., and then his MRI is in zhills at 12:30.

today nick woke up seeming fine, had an asthma attack, and then got a headache. turns out i don't have any ibuprofen in the house so he took another med (bad mommy, not authorized by neuro). went to school, couldn't stay at school, talked to team lead teacher, and school nurse (so the social worker doesn't start calling for excessive absences) and then made him come to work with me so he wouldn't sleep all day. by 10:30 he was feeling much better (thanks to unauthorized med... :D ) and asked to be taken to school. so he went and made it through the day just fine...then crashed when we got home. gotta try to keep him up late tonight so he doesn't sleep too much. (neuro said 6-9 hours a night...min/max)

i'm thinking chiropractor with acupuncturist might be a good idea to try. couldn't hurt anyway!

tomorrow is soccer. guess i ought to take down the tree too! lol need to start a "honey do" list for jerry...

btw---i ordered my books for school. once i got off the phone with the bookstore, i got this knot in my stomach and started wondering what i've gotten myself into! they should arrive by monday, possibly tomorrow though. life is going to change drastically starting next week, that's for sure! (i'm working on trying to get everything organized and figure out schedules and chore lists so i can implement them soon to keep from getting too frazzled from the chaos our life is getting ready to be....help!!!)
